It was what it was, my first and only way I could get there from JSC was riding on chevy c-10 flatbed with iron pipe railings raised 6 inches off the bed. Somewhere near Salinas (Jerico) where things kicked in, laying flat spread out on that bed watching the evening sky that was my epiphany began to take hold and it was a nice ride into Patrick Gym parking lot. No time to hang, ticket line/check in weird when you high but got in, seats behind stage close but sucked. Moved to the front for second set up close but I didn't like being "smashed" so I moved. Being a 20 year old deadhead was cool, they played a great show. I think it was $10?? + a purple window pane. Better than 84 show here

Very good&accurate recording (really). Some very strong moments. All in all, yes, quite fun.

this is a smoken version of sugaree, it starts out nice and then builds you up and then the boys bring it all back together again. perfect!beginning, climax, end!!1

No kidding, the sound quality here is atrocious. It's like Jerry's voice and the occaissional assault of Bob's guitar. Oh, and the clapping of the audience is the primary sound on the recording and it's absolutely grating. I couldn't get past the first 5 minutes of Sugaree. Maybe one of the other uploads sounds better. How could one give a rating of the performance when it can't be heard?

I would never believe this concert was done in a gym. Unfortunately, I'm only halfway through listening to this but chances are, except perhaps for Terrapin (which has never been performed to my liking anyway) this ranks up there with some of their best shows. One of my favorites was Peggy O. Their rendition of this is touching and beautiful. All of the rest of them are tight and it's really great hearing the super enthusiastic audience be the kind of audience that the Dead always love to play to. It's hard for me to imagine this show taking place in a gym. Just imagine above the stage the unretracted basketball backboard and hoop and the pegboards off to the side. The sweat of these people dancing like crazies on the once finely polished floor probably lingered for weeks.
